Future Workshops

We have a full programme of workshops for singers and instrumentalists, both separately and together. You don't have to be a member to attend: all are open to members and non-members alike. Pre-booking is essential.

Safeguarding: Applications to BMEMF events from young people under the age of 18 will be accepted only if a named, responsible adult will be with them for the whole of the event.
